Having talked (and paid) their way past the lone guard in the Accursed Den, the Outcasts continue to follow the sad and melodic music deeper into the underground, with only the barest of knowledge to the whereabouts of the missing Prince Aldon.

MCV presents a new segment on the podcast. Join David as he along with his friends (Scott, Gregg, Alex and Darryll) play the table-top RPG called MÖRK BORG. What is MÖRK BORG? Simply put and in the publisher's own words. It's a DOOM METAL album of a game. A spiked FLAIL to the FACE. Light on rules, heavy everything else.
One day, all will blacken and burn.
MÖRK BORG is a pitch-black apocalyptic fantasy RPG about lost souls and fools seeking redemption, forgiveness, or the last remaining riches in a bleak and dying world. 💀 Developed by © Ockult Örtmästare Games & Stockholm Kartell

Thorn and Willow have a happy life. They love each other, they are the High Priest and Priestess of a mostly stable Coven and Thorn has a semi-successful bird bath shop online. But despite the relationship problems their Coven occasionally comes to them with and the fact that even with persistence, his wife Willow may not be ready to have a child. They are happy. Until Thorn receives an email with direct ties to his life before becoming a witch.

The final show for TORONTO AFTER DARK (but not our final review ep) is PAUL DOOD'S DEADLY LUNCH BREAK**.
You thought YOU were having a bad day. Try being Paul. Living with your sick elderly mom while trying to kickstart an entertainment career while staying up-to-date with your adoring fanbase, while still working a crummy retail job. All the while preparing to perform for your big break in a social media talent try-out. AND IT SEEMS EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD IS AGAINST YOU (except maybe that cute girl washing puke off the mall floor).
It's enough to make you go mental. Ask Paul Dood (pronounced "dude").**

People. We may not have had a John Wick film this year. But this will tide you over. See it where ever you can!**

We are officially accredited press for @TADFF What were they thinking?!?! Well, we will try not to embarrass them TOO much. One of the best features of TADFF is the Shorts Showcases. In this episode, we do capsule reviews of each of these 9 short films from Canada! I think we kept it fairly non-spoilery.
